Container fences have burner contexts, which makes the trick to store at
most one fence per context somewhat useless if we don't unwrap array or
chain fences.
Mhm, we intentionally kept them not unwrapped since this way they only
occupy one fence slot.

But it might be better to unwrap them if you add many of those dependencies.

tbh, I'm not sure why we weren't doing this already, unless there is
something I'm overlooking

Please keep the drm_sched_job_ prefix here even for static functions.
The symbol _add_dependency just sucks in a backtrace, especially when
it's tail optimized.

Maybe name the new function drm_sched_job_unwrap_add_dependency or
something like this.

I need to double check, but I think for some cases we don't need or
don't even want this in the driver.
I'd be curious to know the cases where you don't want this.. one thing
I was thinking about, what if you have a container fence with two
contained fences.  One is on the same ctx as the job, one is not but
signals sooner.  You end up artificially waiting on both, which seems
sub-optimal.

Well resv objects don't contain other containers for example.

Then we also have an use case in amdgpu where fence need to be explicitly waited for even when they are from the same ctx as the job because otherwise we wouldn't see everything cache coherent.

On the other hand we currently handle that amdgpu use case differently and the extra overhead of unwrapping fences even if they can't be containers is probably negligible.

Anyways, I can make this a new entrypoint which unwraps, and/or rename
the internal static function, if we think this is a good idea.

If you think that's unnecessary keeping your original approach is fine with me as well.

Christian.
